Here are some tips on how to sell your home fast and for top dollar:
1. Have a high curb appeal.
2. List your property at an affordable price, but no more than 10% above market value.
3. Allow buyers to make offers with contingencies (e.g.: inspection, appraisal).
4. Hire a professional photographer who takes high quality photos with good lighting and without distractions (eg., people).
5. Make sure all mattresses are covered in plastic before showing the house so that odors don’t linger on beds or carpets when potential buyers visit the house for showings or inspections.
6. Have a professional carpet cleaner inspect the carpets before showing the house to buyers.
7. Do not allow pet owners to show their dogs in a pit bull fashion.
8. Make sure that all blinds are closed and curtains are closed or drawn shut to minimize any view of the exterior of your home (other than what is visible from the street).
9. A high quality security system, with motion sensor lights, infrared cameras, and audio alarms (i.e., audio speakers) must be installed and properly monitored before you list your home for sale or if you already have your home listed for sale and will likely be showing it to prospective buyers during open houses .
